#fep_ae97

I am working on a new project, called minimitra.

It’s a FEP-ae97 client that implements Mastodon API. Minimitra is similar to Mitra, but it is designed to run as a desktop application and supports portable accounts. That means: offline-first, full identity/data ownership, Tor/I2P friendly.

Currently minimitra can only send and receive public messages, but I expect that porting features will not be difficult because most of the code will be shared.

Other limitations / downsides:

• Requires postgresql server.
• Can’t post to multiple gateways.
• No cross-client portability.

Fortunately, all of that can be fixed!

I created a simple FEP-ae97 web client: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/fep-ae97-web-client It is written in #Rust using Leptos and APx. Everything is compiled to WebAssembly and the application can be served as a static website. This technology stack is very promising, but I think it is not yet ready for anything serious. The development process is slower compared to JavaScript/TypeScript, and the resulting binary is huge - it's 4.5 MB already (without optimizations). So I am going to keep an eye on it, but focus on building another FEP-ae97 client using a different approach. #fep_ae97
